He Learned to Play So He’d Be Saved
Singer/songwriter/guitar player Brandon Gibbs got his start as a young teen by teaming with his twin brother as the Gibbs Brothers Band. Together they opened for such rock icons as The Doobie Brothers, Poison, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner. After his brother departed to take on a new challenge, Brandon toured as a solo act and eventually formed Cheap Trill with former members of Cinderella in 2012.
In 2014 Gibbs teamed up with Rikki Rocket (Poison), Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), and Eric Brittingham (Cinderella) to form Devil City Angels. Their self-titled debut was released in 2015. Over the last year or so Brandon has been focusing on his solo music in the form of single releases. His latest single is “Lost Boys.” I caught up with Brandon Gibbs to talk about his storied career up to this point and where he is headed.
